in the unified code for handling utf-16 and ucs2 output, the check for
ucs2 wrongly looked at the source charset rather than the destination
charset.
|
|
previously, the charset names without endianness specified were always
interpreted as big endian. unicode specifies that UTF-16 and UTF-32
have BOM-determined endianness if BOM is present, and are otherwise
big endian. since commit 5b546faa67544af395d6407553762b37e9711157
added support for stateful encodings, it is now possible to implement
BOM support via the conversion descriptor state.
for conversions to these charsets, the output is always big endian and
does not have a BOM.

the mapping tables and code are not automatically generated; they were
produced by comparing the output of towupper/towlower against the
mappings in the UCD, ignoring characters that were previously excluded
from case mappings or from alphabetic status (micro sign and circled
letters), and adding table entries or code for everything else
missing.
based very loosely on a patch by Reini Urban.

the new version of the code used to generate these tables forces a
newline every 256 entries, whereas at the time these files were
originally generated and committed, it only wrapped them at 80
columns. the new behavior ensures that localized changes to the
tables, if they are ever needed, will produce localized diffs.
commit d060edf6c569ba9df4b52d6bcd93edde812869c9 made the corresponding
changes to the iconv tables.

notes by maintainer:
commit 2f853dd6b9a95d5b13ee8f9df762125e0588df5d added these rules
because the new system for handling arch-provided replacement files
introduced for out-of-tree builds did not apply to the crt tree.
commit 63bcda4d8f4074e9d92ae156afd0dced6e64eb65 later adapted the
makefile logic so that the crt and ldso trees go through the same
replacement logic as everything else, but failed to remove the
explicit rules that assumed the arch would always provide asm
replacements.
in addition to cleaning things up, removing these spurious rules
allows crti/crtn asm to be omitted by an arch (thereby using the empty
C files instead) if they are not needed.

notes by maintainer:
both C and POSIX use the term UTC to specify related functionality,
despite POSIX defining it as something more like UT1 or historical
(pre-UTC) GMT without leap seconds. neither specifies the associated
string for %Z. old choice of "GMT" violated principle of least
surprise for users and some applications/tests. use "UTC" instead.

sysconf should return -1 for infinity, not LONG_MAX.

aside from theoretical arbitrary results due to UB, this could
practically cause unbounded overflow of static array if hit, but
hitting it depends on having more than 32 calls to at_quick_exit and
having them sufficiently often.

notes added by maintainer:
the '-' specifier allows default padding to be suppressed, and '_'
allows padding with spaces instead of the default (zeros).
these extensions seem to be included in several other implementations
including FreeBSD and derivatives, and Solaris. while portable
software should not depend on them, time format strings are often
exposed to the user for configurable time display. reportedly some
python programs also use and depend on them.

stdio types use the struct tag names from glibc libio to match C++
ABI.

notes added by maintainer:
this function is a GNU extension. it was chosen over the similar BSD
function funopen because the latter depends on fpos_t being an
arithmetic type as part of its public API, conflicting with our
definition of fpos_t and with the intent that it be an opaque type. it
was accepted for inclusion because, despite not being widely used, it
is usually very difficult to extricate software using it from the
dependency on it.
calling pattern for the read and write callbacks is not likely to
match glibc or other implementations, but should work with any
reasonable callbacks. in particular the read function is never called
without at least one byte being needed to satisfy its caller, so that
spurious blocking is not introduced.
contracts for what callbacks called from inside libc/stdio can do are
always complicated, and at some point still need to be specified
explicitly. at the very least, the callbacks must return or block
indefinitely (they cannot perform nonlocal exits) and they should not
make calls to stdio using their own FILE as an argument.
